Don't know how to imitate Internet Explorer in other browsers, but one way I use to indicate "disabled" is to apply a suitable "opacity" value to the element. IE has its own version of "opacity" so you have a choice of using IE' s "filter: alpha(opacity=75);" (for 75%) for example, or using "disabled". Not exactly what you are after, but an alternative suggestion.
